These jobs are future proof

Choosing the right career path and
profession will be – again, as every year -
a familiar plight for a lot of young people and their respective
parents, who want to make sure their offspring chooses wisely. Suddenly,
becoming a popstar, a football player, a princess, a ballerina or a train
conductor give way to more realistic options, based on individual talents and
interests. School helped get here as well, by offering the opportunity for
career days, counselling and internships. Next to personal talents and
financial security, the actual offers and opportunities delivered by the job market
are also of utmost importance. We’ll try to look into the future and consult
our very own crystal ball to tell you, which jobs are future proof. The list below is no ranking.

1. Technical
professions – there’s always going to be a need for good engineers,
because regardless whether we want to produce clean energy, build more
efficient means of transportation or send manned missions to outer space or the
deepest bottom of our oceans, we’ll have to rely on them finding brilliant
solutions.

2. IT – informational technology is
already an important part of our everyday lives and that is very unlikely to
change. Programmers, system administrators, network engineers etc. will keep on
making sure that we, the regular user, have the easiest time using technology. And
answering all of our ignorant questions.

3. Architects – the number of people
living on Earth is increasing every day and with it increases the need for
answers regarding the intelligent use of living spaces. New,
eco-friendly and sustainable cities will develop, planned by a whole new
generation of great architects.

4. Tourism, wellness, gastronomy – Good news for people
willing to make their career in the field of services , be they on the
administrative side of businesses or working directly as cooks, waiters,
receptionists, cosmeticians or masseuses – we’ll be more than happy to use
their services in the future as well.

5. Healthcare
– We
live longer than our ancestors because healthcare gets better and better. Still,
after a certain age, we need our regular maintenance check-ups. And since there
will be more and more senior citizens in the future, doctors won’t go out of
business.
